Second variant: static processing unit

A virtual X axis must be created for a machine with a static processing unit.

This involves configuring a simulation axis with sufficient dynamics to cater for the conveyor dynamics. In order to use the virtual X axis, the parameter conveyor_sync.x_virtual (P-CHAN-00364) must be specified in the channel parameter list.

In the case of a static machine, the maximum conveyor velocity is heavily dependent on the dynamics of the axes involved in the machining operation and on the programmed contour. This is because the X axis cannot be controlled and therefore the machining axes can only follow the X axis.

If the position changes become too large due to the conveyor axis moving too fast, the CNC will output a dynamic error.
